About Architectural Wall Systems AWS
 

In 1991 Mike Cunningham founded Architectural Wall Systems, Co. in Des Moines, IA.  Driven by the desire to assist the design community in detailing and constructing higher quality building envelopes, he became a student of cutting edge building technologies and began to carve out a niche. 
 
Through the application of European and Canadian Rain Screen technology, AWS quickly filled the need for high-performing building envelopes and began to transform the Des Moines skyline with the construction of EMC Headquarters. 
 
Utilizing a network of design professionals, engineers, and an international supply chain to meet budget and schedule constraints, AWS’s portfolio grew to include owners such as Apple, Wellmark, Sprint, and TD Ameritrade, among others.  Our network of partners allows us to deliver exceptional value on a consistent basis.  
 
AWS is recognized as a leader in the industry relative to safety and quality, and we’re regarded as a trusted partner in the architectural community in the pursuit of high-performing, custom solution building envelopes.

We believe that any vision that is worthy of pursuit will raise expectations and challenge our team. Our vision and mission drives continuous improvement, charts the course for future initiatives, demands innovative solutions, and reinforces the fact that the potential of our team has no limits

Our Vision:  Build Better // Our Mission:   Push the Envelope
